…but heavy dependence on foreign aid is a challengeBy Zena HenrySix of the eight United Nation’s (UN) Millennium Development Goals (MDG), adopted by Guyana in 2000,Cheap NFL Jerseys, seek to wage a global war against HIV/AIDS by the year 2015. Internationally, Guyana is among 10 nations that have achieved universal access to the treatment of the deadly infection.However,NFL Jerseys China Cheap, the nation is heavily dependent on foreign aid and this poses a different challenge towards fighting HIV/AIDS; and might be a potential weakness in future systems.Roberto Campos of UNAIDS said during a media seminar last week that  Guyana has attained 87 percent of antiretroviral coverage in comparison to other countries,Bobby Orr Jersey, while attaining 89 percent coverage on mother to child transmission.
